How does Chapter 47 connect the story from the previous chapter to the one that is about to be told?

Towards its conclusion, Chapter 47 acts as a narrative bridge, linking the past and future stories within the Shri Sai Satcharitra. The author explicitly asks listeners to "follow the connection with the previous story attentively," referencing the story of the goats from the end of the prior chapter. It clarifies that Baba's love for the goats was a result of his memory of their past lives. After establishing this context, as detailed in Chapter 47, the text then sets the stage for the next tale. It directs the listener's attention to a new story that will serve as a cautionary example of how the "extreme state of greed for wealth leads to a downfall."
